Add External URL Extensions
This article describes how to add an external URL extension using the Wix Dev Center.
Note: You can only create one external URL extension per app.
Add an external URL extension to your app
Do the following to add the extension:
- Build your app using the technologies of your choice. Make sure your app:
- Is hosted on a publicly accessible server.
- Is served on an
https
URL, not anhttp
one. For security reasons, the Wix Dev Center does not support making requests to non-https
servers.
- In the Dev Center, create a new app.
- In your new app’s page in the Dev Center, click Extensions in the sidebar menu.
- Click Create Extension.
- In the Choose the extension you want to create modal, select External URL and click Create.
- On the External URL extension configuration page, fill in the following fields:
Field | Meaning |
---|---|
Page Info > Page URL | Required. Your app server’s address. When a site admin opens your app from the Manage Apps page in their site dashboard, this address is opened in a new browser tab. The App Instance query parameter is attached to the dashboard URL so that you can identify the user when they launch your service. Note: For security reasons, your app must be hosted on an https address. |
- Click Save > Save to save your changes.
Once your app is installed on a site, a site admin can access your service by clicking Apps > Manage Apps in the sidebar menu of their site dashboard, and clicking Open next to your app.
